AbstractA group of candidates for extreme carbon stars has been identified based on their IRAS low-resolution spectra being similar to those of AFGL 3068 and IRC +10°216, which are prototypes of highly evolved carbon stars with very high mass-loss rates. Ground-based photometry has been obtained for five of these sources in order to determine the peaks of their energy distributions. All five sources have color temperatures between 300 and 500 K, and have energy distributions very similar to AFGL 3068. The observed data are fitted with radiative transfer models with optical depths at 11.3 μm ranging from 1.4 to 8. These results suggest that these stars have among the most optically thick circumstellar envelopes of all carbon stars observed to date.
